Know how to meet your fellow-wanderer, how to be passive to the beauty of nature and how to be active to its wildness and its rigour. The tramp is a friend of society; a seeker, they pay their way if they can.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne includes in the category 'tramp' all true Bohemians, pilgrims, explorers afoot, walking tourists, and the like. Tramping is a way of approach, to nature, to your fellow man, to a nation, to beauty, to life itself. It is a gentle art and there is much to learn; illusions to overcome, prejudices and habits to be shaken off.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe adventure is not the getting there, it is the on-the-way. It is not the expected; it is the surprise; not the fulfilment of prophecy but the providence of something better than prophesied. Originally published in 1926, The Gentle Art of Tramping is a guide for anyone who has dreamed of taking to the road with nothing more than a bag full of essentials and big ideas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt gives guidance on walking, being open to discovery and being kind - advice as relevant now as it was then.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Winstones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":35022692155545,"sku":"9781448217243","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0423\/0240\/6809\/products\/9781448217243_6925d19b-8355-4c4f-bd44-2bd30d269cef.jpg?v=1601403417","url":"https:\/\/winstonebooks.pro\/products\/9781448217243","provider":"Winstone's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
